West Ham's captain Jarrod Bowen will be out for an extended period due to an injury.

Unfortunately, it seems that Jarrod Bowen will be out of action for a while. After sustaining a fractured foot in West Ham's match against Liverpool last weekend, the team's captain is facing some time on the sidelines. It was during the 59th minute of the 5-0 defeat at home when Bowen hobbled off the field, causing concern among fans and teammates alike. And now, the club has officially confirmed the seriousness of his injury.

In an official statement, West Ham United announced that Bowen suffered a fractured foot in the first half of the Premier League fixture against Liverpool. This means that he will not be able to play for the Hammers in the near future. As the club's top goalscorer in the league this season, with five goals and four assists in 19 appearances, Bowen's absence will definitely be felt by the team. The 28-year-old himself took to Instagram to update his fans, expressing his disappointment and determination to come back stronger.

While the club did not specify how long Bowen will be out for, this injury comes at a crucial time for West Ham. The team currently sits 13th in the table, just eight points above the relegation zone. And despite being unbeaten in their previous four games, the heavy defeat to Liverpool has put pressure back on manager Julen Lopetegui. The Spaniard will have to make some tough decisions in Bowen's absence, especially with a tough match against Manchester City coming up in the New Year.

But before that, West Ham will face Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup, followed by back-to-back home games against Fulham and Crystal Palace. These games will be a test for the team without their top goalscorer, but they will have to rally together and work even harder to secure some much-needed points. As for Bowen, he is already looking forward to getting back on the pitch as soon as possible. Injuries are a part of football, and he is determined to come back stronger and help his team achieve their goals.
